Supporters hold up signs as Jennifer Vasquez Sura, the wife of Kilmar Abrego Garcia of Maryland, who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, speaks during a news conference at CASA's Multicultural Center in Hyattsville, Md., Friday, April 4.
The Trump administration has defended its deportation of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia — a Maryland man mistakenly sent to a prison in El Salvador — saying "due process does look different" for people they say are members of gangs the White House has designated as terrorist organizations.

Abrego Garcia was arrested and deported in March, despite having been granted protection by an immigration judge in 2019 that should have prevented him from being deported to El Salvador.

The Justice Department has admitted the deportation was an "administrative error," but DOJ lawyers argued in court papers that he is a member of the criminal gang MS-13.


In an interview with All Things Considered guest host and NPR White House correspondent Asma Khalid on Sunday, Tricia McLaughlin — assistant secretary for public affairs at the Department of Homeland Security — said the Trump administration's deportations are legal.

"In every single case, there is due process," McLaughlin said. But, she added, there are different processes for people deemed members of terrorist groups.

Due process for terrorists should and does look different.

Terrorists are killing Americans.

Oh good. We can just declare that Earl is a terrorist and then deport him. Due process is different for terrorists after all.

Due process means that a fact finder such as a judge is presented withe evidence by both sides of an issue and then that fact finder makes a ruling based on the evidence from both sides.
 
“The United States alleges, however, that Abrego Garcia has been found to be a member of the gang MS–13, a designated foreign terrorist organization, and that his return to the United States would pose a threat to the public.”

If Homeland Security can show evidence that a person is a member of a gang designated as a terrorist group, they can deport that person.

Perhaps terrorist supporters like you, Pobre, should be deported.
